Who loves vegan curry? None other than newbie vegan man of the year Mike Tyson.

The former boxer had dinner at the Bombay Brasserie in the Braodway, Petersborough area in the UK, where he was reported to have ordered all vegan curries, which, although presumably delicious, didn’t stop him from signing autographs and taking pictures with fans.

Stella McCartney Named Official Olympics Designer

Stella McCartney has been chosen as the creative director for the British Olympic Team!

Stella’s title means she’ll be overseeing everything the athletes wear, as well as the fan wear. Her partnership with the Olympic brand Team GB marks the first time a fashion designer will be responsible for the attire of the entire British team, including for the 2012 London Games.

Stella called her role, “an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” and her words may be more than sentiment for other fashion designers.

No other designer has been granted involvement with the Olympic games at such a high level, the closest coming to the honor being Ralph Lauren being responsible for the opening ceremony outfits for team USA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Paul the Octopus

Paul, the psychic Octopus is retiring from his career of predicting sports games, leaving the way for Miss Cleo to put on her bikini and jump in the tank instead.

The Octopus who correctly predicted Spain winning the World Cup over the Netherlands has almost a 100% success rate at guessing the outcome of sporting events, especially when it comes to Germany. Paul would be presented two boxes of food displaying the nation’s flags. Whichever box he chose to eat from was usually the winner of the game. When his recent prediction put Germany on the losing side, fans threatened to make paella out of him. Just imagine what they’d do to the referees.

PETA has called for his release from the Aquarium Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany, citing the confined conditions as unhealthy for the sea creature.

Johnny Weir Opens His Fur Closet To The Public (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Fur, Videos.

Back during the Winter Olympic games, figure skater Johnny Weir almost got the skin taken from his back by animal rights activists after he skated in a costume trimmed with rabbit fur.

That was just a sneak preview of an utterly, disgusting, even more X-rated fur porn show.

Weir opens up his closet in this video to reveal he has lynx, fox and other creatures lurking in his bedroom.

Despite all the wild animals at his residence, Weir sleeps well given the fact none of them are alive!

Sure wish he’d skate over to a fake fur shop and donate those creatures to charity!

Lion Resting

A restaurant near Phoenix, Arizona has put lion burgers on the menu in celebration of the World Cup soccer games in Africa, reports the New York Daily News.

Can’t see why a colored black and white popcorn ball wouldn’t do the trick, but okay.

“We thought that since the World Cup was in Africa … that the lion burger might be interesting for some of our more adventurous customers,” said owner Cameron Selogie.

This creative thinking has gotten Il Vinaio 250 (so far) angry e-mails from animal rights activists and outcries from regular customers.
